The Sun-Lion King: Cosmic Messianic Symbolism in Ethiopia

Cosmic Messianic Symbolism in Ethiopia and the EOTC:
Solar Titles and Symbols of the Ethiopian King

From the ancient days to now, the Sun and Constellations have been deeply rooted in the traditions of the Throne of David, demonstrated in both the Ible and culture of Ethiopia and its Tewahedo Orthodox Church. Studying such esoteric or hidden messages in the Ible and Orthodox Christianity helps us as Rastafari: To overstand our JAH Emperor Haile Sellassie I as both the Zodiacal and Biblical Messianic King David-Judah: as above so below …To know HIM as King of the Nile Valley … To know HIM in His Supreme fullness, as an anointed Man of Might and Burning Flame, Light of this World, Lion Sun-King, Star of Afraka.

Afraka in the Nile Valley language of Amharic means “Land of the Sun” The Greek Ethiopia also means “Land of the Sun-burnt faces.” Historians have found letters penned by foreign rulers who swore allegiance to the Kemetic crown, addressing the Pharoah as “My Lord, the Sun” and directing tidings to him as if He was in fact, carrying the generative powers of the Sun. The entire fabric of this land is thus based on the Nile Valley’s geographic and cosmic relationship to the heavenly luminaries, namely the Sun (today, Orthodox) and Moon (Islam). The abandoned Ethiopian monarchy, though tied to the Judeo-Christian Tewahedo Church and Throne of David, was but a branch of the entire Nile Valley Empire where kings ruled under the names of many gods and even goddesses that depicted the power of the Sun, Moon and stars such as Sirius.

Because the kingship of Ethiopia goes back thousands of years before Christianity, I think that viewing His Majesty as Earth’s Rightful Ruler cannot and should not be restricted under the umbrella of Orthodoxy or Christianity in general. While many of InI may come to Sight HIM as JAH or Kristos through the Ible, with a Christian lens (comparing HIM to Iyesus as Messiah), this most ancient and holy throne and the Judeo-Christian Messianic traditions associated with it go further back in time to the secret societies of priests or seers (stargazers) who studied the Zodiac and communed with the most ancient Natural Laws or Principles of all Creation, in the Nile Valley. So the root of everything we call Judeo-Christian comes from the Nile Valley, all the symbols and titles of the Bible have a root in Kemet. Even our mainstream society as I said in my last post, is using Kemetic symbols on money and as logos.

His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellasie I JAH RasTafari is the Name of InI God-Inspiration and King, and all for a true and very real and valid reason: He fulfils the ancient prophecies of Judeo-Christian and Mesopotamian/Kemetic Messianic traditions. So while His truth can be sighted in the Ible and legends of the Hebrew or Jewish people, it can also be found in the Zodiac traditions of the ancient Nile Valley nations from Nubia Cush to Kemet. While Judaism and Christianity may want to hide this truth, their theologies are based on the Zodiac and the movements of luminaries.

The Emperor has made both Zodical and Biblical myths (stories based on the movements of planets/stars and changes of seasons, days, months and Ages) and allegories (“a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms”) come to life in this time. He walked in the path of the Son of Ra or Amen, the Kristos, the Branch, the Messiah or the Sun as Lion King. Biblical, Kemetic, Zodiacal parallels are found in the Emperor’s Duty as Solomonic King of Kings of Ethiopia.

Judaism and Christianity being embedded in Ethiopian history have Messianic traditions, or prophecies by which to recognize and treat a Messiah or Anointed Warrior King, based on the archetype of King David and his successor King Solomon. These two most famous and heralded kings of Judah depict the role, personality and life of the King in Earth as a mirror of the Sun or King in the Cosmos. The attributes of David are linked mainly to the mythology of the Zodiac or the Sun in the constellations Leo and Virgo; while Solomon is a personification of illumination or Wise-Mind, he is an allegory symbolized by the Sun (Sol-Om-On). (The Sun symbolizes Life, Immortality, Wise Mind, the Supreme Creator and Life-Giver that has no form, it is Lord of the Solar System all planets function through it)

The TITLES and SYMBOLS (Images, glyphs, Icons) of the Ethiopian Throne and Church which Rastafari adopted through JAH Haile Sellassie I and Menen Asfaw I, are the most convincing evidence that show the underlying esoteric codes of Scripture and the David-Judah Messiah. The images created for this character or the symbols of Judah, matter more than the bloodlines because history simply cannot prove these people existed! Only history and culture in the places that adopted this tradition and the faith of the people in this culture prove the symbol, title or the legend of the person. And because of the mystic nature of it all, they are honouring a cosmic truth not a person. The symbols, rituals and feasts or holidays honour the legends/allegories/Natural law represented by the king/kristos/person, for example Easter celebrates the rising of Iyesus from the dead.

And where did this culture and these symbols and titles come from? From the seers, the prophet-stargazers who were fired and shunned as pagans, witch doctors, false prophets, wizards, diviners, magicians and so on. They created the times and feasts dates for the people, as they knew when cosmic shifts occurred and brought a new season. It is interesting to note that “Elijah” was one of these men, after his theatrical display of Hova versus Baal he was a man deemed worthy to enter the cosmic realms in flesh, on a chariot of FIRE. Joseph’s father-in-law was Priest of On, a Temple of the Sun in Kemet.

All of the nations, priests, kings and rulers of antiquity ruled by a symbol and title. Some kingship bloodlines were created under an existing symbol and title; while some titles and symbols were created for bloodlines. It was always a mixture of seizing the throne and gaining it by succession, so the only steadfast recognition of kingship and likewise the priesthood, was by symbols and titles (this includes appearance and rituals). Symbols and titles carry forces and legends that identify the Messiah. He is a man who will abide by and glorify these titles and symbols, give them life and use them responsibly.

In saying that the Titles and Symbols are the key more than the Bloodlines, I feel supported by the fact that the Ethiopian monarchy itself hardly had a direct succession pattern, a distinct uninterrupted lineage of Solomonic succession. It was more a collection of royal families that lived under the Davidic symbols and traditions for centuries. Their family traditions under the symbols and titles of Judah made the bloodline royal, it was their use of power and their passion for these Images and rituals that established a bloodline. In the days of the Emperor there were female and male lines of Solomonic descent with many noble families claiming to be heirs to the throne of Solomon. Families tried to win it, even His Majesty had to develop a plan to get Himself to the throne, and He won of course. By Menyelek II’s wishes, He was supposed to be second-in-command, not the Emperor. Emperor Haile Sellassie I replaced the heir who wanted to unite the religions of the Sun and Moon together on the throne, Iyasu.
In fact as Emperor Haile Sellassie passed in the constitution a regulatiob for all Kigs to come from His sons and daughters alone. He established one bloodline for the Throne of Menelik I Son of the Wise Man.

Ethiopia has effectively from its conception in the Nile, carried the Sun’s Messianic Kingship in its church and monarchy. It has consistently carried the zodiacal symbols of its God in its religion, the Madonna or Virgo Mother and the Lion-Son/Sun-King Throne or Leo through the Identity of Judah (two figures of the Sphinx in the Nile Valley, and both Maryam and Iyesus were of the Tribe of Judah and Kin to David specifically). Therefore, it is the use of the Symbols and Titles that matter in comparing His Majesty with Kings David and Solomon and the Tribe of Judah which is to say the Sun as King traversing the constellations Virgo-Leo.

InI as RasTafari have to know that the Nile Valley is the only place left for Afrikans to come and see their true history living and breathing. The historical relics and symbols are there reminding us of the hidden truths taken from us by slavery. Essentially I have found that the idea of the Christ is more practical, natural and human than put forward by religion, and that the Emperor of Ethiopia fulfills the requirements of the Lion of Judah for the first time in our recorded human history.

In Emperor Haile Sellassie the First is the Culmination and Perfection of our Ankhcestral Theology of Ivinity and Leadership. So it should be that when I and I identify His Majesty as a Messianic Branch of David through Ethiopian and Biblical symbols and titles, He should be able to fit into the Legends of the Sun and the twelve constellations. The symbols and titles of His reign should reflect such as well.

So in AWAKENING to the ESOTERIC WISE MIND OF RASTAFARI and the TRUE IVINITY of HAILE SELLASSIE TAFARI SELAH, as the ONLY TRUE KRISTOS KING OR SUN GOD or GOD in FLESH InI must learn about the SYMBOLS, the emblems of POWER WISE MIND IRIT and TRUTH: SUN, planets and Zodiac, the CROWN, the ROBE, the LION, the SWORD, the SCEPTRE and ORB; and of course the history of the TITLES, the rule/authority, the tribulation and victory. We learn that these traditions of KINGSHIP ARE ALL ZODIAC BASED> Our Own RasTafari Livity is Zodiac and even Kemetic based the more we learn.

To support my stance that there is a cosmic-Kemetic root to the Davidic Throne and Messianic Image, or the Sun-Zodiac references in such; InI turn to the Titles and Symbols of such in Ethiopia. InI must take heed to the Ila language of Ithiopia, a sacred tongue that has given us the NAMES of JAH that InI can bear witness to HIM.

Consider these Important TITLES of JAH:

“Light of This World’ - Wise Mind as represented by the SUN

“Qedamawi Haile Sellasie” - (the First) Power of the Trinity (Sun Moon Stars, Creator Preserver Destroyer, Love Light Life, Man Wombman Child)

“Ras” Head in Amharic, WiseMind in Hebrew

“Tafari” to be feared- as in a lion, a warrior/noble;

“Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah” – the victorious Warrior King as represented by the Lion of God or the Sun in Leo

“Elect of God” - Son of the SUN, Anointed by the Cosmos

“Root of David” - Leo, Beloved, Warrior King, WiseMind

“Soldier of the Cross” - The cross is made by the Sun on the N,S,E,W cardinal points, and represents two equinoxes and two solstices every year, the seasonal cross that also contains the twelve mansions of the Zodiac, this cross is the entire story of the Messiah in cosmos and mythos.

“King of Kings and Lord of Lords” – the Sun is proven and hailed as the King and Lord over all planets and stars in the heavenly domain.

“I AM He from Ori” According to the records of Ethiopian Kings, the First Ethiopian King was named Ori son of Aram which basically means FIRST LIGHT, His Majesty called Himself ORI – "First" in Latin, "My Light" in Hebrew, Aram means "light", the Sun Light. “First” again bearing the Ethiopian origin of humanity. Aram is father of Moses, Mariam and Aaron. From Ori we get origin, original and Orion!

The World's Powers (European oppressors) in His Lifetime not only said that the Emperor LOOKED AND TALKED LIKE IYESUS (He resembled the Images of the Sun Deity), but proclaimed that He was “MAN OF THE YEAR.” This Title was bestowed by TIME magazine, the world’s most popular weekly even up to the present, owned and run by the same people who published LIFE and FORTUNE, shaping our impressions of the world. It is vital to note that these magazines dominated the mindscape in the era before television: LIFE was a pictorial encapsulation of the socio-cultural pulse of the world, while FORTUNE dealt with cutting edge of the business world. So TIME magazine’s honor, published curiously on the eve of Ethiopian Christmas 1936, is the intangible crown bestowed by the public mind of the day, the article itself reading like the modern day fairytale it was then. This declaration was published during the Emperor’s tribulation, His Armageddon showing that the Lion of Judah had indeed RISEN and was ready to CONQUER and LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Esoterically, allegorically the seven seals are the rainbow circle of the spine, the seven Spinal chakras, the base of which is red, esoterically or spiritually called Egypt or Sodom and Gomorrah – Revelation 11:8).

“MAN OF THE YEAR” is an important title for HIM to be crowned by the White Man because Year means Sun-God> Santos Bonacci says that the word “Year” is a Solar word. Year comes from Yea which is Yes. Yes comes from Dais or Dia or Dios which means GOD and SUN. The “yes” gesticulation or “nod” is the movement our heads make when we observe the Sun-God rise as the god Heru (Horus) and set on the horizon (Horus Zone) as the god Set (this is how we get the word “sunset”). The Year as 365 days also makes up the Sun’s revolution through the constellations - the annual pantomime of its birth, baptism, death and resurrection. So Babylon's TIME Magazine (a publication owned by those knowing esoteric knowledge in secret societies) called H.I.M. Haile Sellassie I, as Man of the Year, MAN OF THE GOD or MAN OF THE SUN or MAN of the SUN-GOD, which basically means Kristos. And wasn’t Kristos the King who suffered and was wounded or exiled, only to return in victory? Indeed it was all cosmic, all intentional, all hidden right before our eyes. (Watch Santos Bonnaci As Above So below and all other videos!)

Behold and be aware that these were all once SUN DEITY TITLES, that they are all linked to the true GOD- KING of the Bible, the SUN and his LION the symbol of the Creator’s/Sun’s Power.

Heru, Iyesus and Osiris may not have been real men but Haile Sellassie IS! These deities gave ancient Man the hope in Ivinity, and in the same vein His Majesty and Empress Menen show InI That IT IS POSSIBLE to achieve the greatness of fabled kings/queens, to be guided and Itected by the cosmic-terrestrial Forces of Iration in InI Lives, to Be of all Ilah destinies once we just simply Live Right and Love RIGHT. No one can take away the great inspiration His Majesty Ras Tafari Selah gives RasTafari Idren in just living as MANIFESTATIONS of NATURAL LAW/Right/I-Consciousness!

The Lion of Judah as The True Messiah is also of the Nile Valley Kingship because His legacy stems from there, His royal attributes stem from there. And through His Words, Works and lineage HAILE SELLASSIE IS THE SON OF THE SUN in LEO and the NILE Valley - SIRIUS and of the RAINBOW CIRCLE THRONE> DAVID, “as above so below.” The Ethiopian flag with its tri-colour and the lion with the cross, is a solar emblem showing this balance, showing the Leo Tribe of Afraka, the Land of the Sun, the Nile Valley Kings.

As a side note, RasTafari must also see that this knowledge of the Lion Sun/Son has Manifested within InI as well through our dreadlocked appearance. Leo is the Sun’s dignity – dignatty – so its rays are full and the corona or halo is brilliant. The rays of the sun illuminate the world bursting forth in a halo from the core just as roots burst forth from a seed or dreadlocks from an Idren’s crown. The Sun's corona or crown of rays in Leo is the ancient symbol of our crown or WiseMind being opened, of our HEAVENS being illuminated by Light and Love. “Enlightenment” is of the Sun/Son. In one version of the baptism, Iyesus had sun rays fall on him (this is really the sun being dipped in water in the sign of Aquarius, John). Ethiopian art has the halo around the heads of saints always. The dreadlocks themselves symbolize the lion’s mane which is esoterically the sun’s halo, and which is used to symbolize the crown chakras halo of WISEMIND Illumination. A bunch of serpents can also looks like dreadlocks with that slender winding style, as do the roots of trees. Trees and serpents are both again ancient symbols that meant WISEMIND and LIFE and LIGHT! The serpent is depicted in many Kemetic artforms as a symbol of continuous life, light and Wise Mind. Dreadlocks, the RAS, therefore represent Illumination, the opening of the I, as do the lion and serpent symbols of old. Though we have been taught to think of the serpent as evil in the story of Adam and Eve it does not mean that at all, view the esoteric meaning by Manly P Hall in Secret Teachings of all Ages.

All of the symbols/emblems and garments in the below pictures show that Ethiopian and Christian traditions are based on esoteric Wise Mind of the cosmos and Neter. They support not only the esoteric nature of His Majesty’s Titles and Messianic Kingship, but the esoteric nature of the Ethiopian Throne on the whole. My conclusion is that His Majesty King Sellassie is the True Standard or Emblem-Bearer of the Biblical Sun-God or Son or King of the Nile Valley and All Ages.

While I am well aware that His Majesty worshipped under the banner of Christianity and believed in following Iyesus Kristos, I don’t believe that I am contradicting the Emperor, as again I will say that Jesus like all other Kristos deities, is part of the whole fabric that is astrotheology, all part of KNOWING SELF cosmically and Earthly. I choose to say JAH or RasTafari or Selah instead of IyesusKristos, but I acknowledge that it is the same personality, same character of righteousness which I see in the Lion Sun King the First Power of the Trinity, JAH RASTAFARI.

The cross is the most popular symbol of the Sun in religion. Here we have the sun cross or the compass or cardinal points on the top of His and Her Majesties’ crowns: NSEW, earth, air, fire, water, the 2 equinoxes and 2 solstices. It is an equilateral T shape for the cross with a circle going through it for the sun disc. The crown represents the yearly movement of the Sun bringing the seasons, or displaying the life of the Solar King as protrayed in the Zodiac.

  

The CROWN symbolizes glory, reign, victory it depicts the Sun’s halo or corona in summer, its reign in full power. The wearer has full power of his/her world. On Empress Menen's crown the cardinal pointed sun-cross sits atop an orb upported on four legs, just like Eden surrounded by four rivers. There are many other equilateral crosses studded in diamonds with red gems in the centre like small moons. There is a starburst of in the middle and the crimson/ruby velvet representative of the Heart – Leo , House of Judah, Power, Life-Giving energy. The Madonna is a symbol of the Pure Mother and Child, the Sun-King. There seem to be winged creatures as well.

(Consider Elizabeth II's and the Pope's crown, the Statue of Liberty's and Mithra's crown)

 

In this coloured photo of Abba-Amma King and Queen, Son, Father and Mother (the Empress was pregnant), on the ROBES InI can properly see the gold everywhere in that symbolic embroidery which is the metal element associated with the sun and the lion. AS mentioned this colour crimson or ruby is another July or Sun or Leo colour, the heart. It is said that the Empress wore sapphire blue robes for Her coronation however, this colour is also very significant of "God the Father." This is the day of coronation was a day of Sun Endowment to the Lion Throne of the Nile. It is interesting to note that red and green are the colours of Leo and combined with the gold of the sun we have Ethiopia’s Rainbow Throne ruled by the Lion Warrior.


The golden colour that the ornate decoration is sewn with, along with the golden crown and throne carry even greater planetary symbolism. Alchemists of the ancient world believed gold to be crystallized sunlight for its incomparable shine. Actually, they were not really wrong. Today we know that gold entered our earth via the death of stars (explosion of blinding light) and the shower of extraterrestrial dust of which gold was one element. Either way, when you or I wear gold we are wrapping our flesh with the stellar goodies of the universe. Did the ancients, could the ancients, have known this?

Their royal garments are also embellished with what looks like flowers and wheat or grain. It is well known that the moon has powers of fertility and farmers have always used the luminaries to plant for proper yields in harvest. The grain and buds winding on his garbs represent fertility, prosperity, the sovereign self-sustainability in the land of the kingdom flowing with milk and honey, nature in its effervescence, hence one truly favoured of God (His Elect) and worthy of the Divine Right of Kings. This is a fairly modern relic of that covenant supposedly first handed down to King Menes of Egypt, which swore that a king’s rule was ordained by God and he was vicegerent of His Ivine will.

Now to focus on the ORB in His hand with the cardinal sun-cross on it. It is clearly a solar disc, or a sphere like earth, a planetary symbol: “THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS” The Keeper of the ATUM. The SCEPTRE He is holding is known as the Holy Sceptre of the House of Judah and was believed to be magically empowered with the dominion of the world. It is said that was thescepter that was among items pilfered from Ethiopia by England’s Lord Napier in his rape of Magdala, and that was returned to its rightful owner in time for His coronation, allegedly with melodramatic gestures of eternal subservience and service by the Duke of Gloucestershire. Of course the sceptre carries hidden symbolism of its own. Like Aaron’s rod could work wonders, like Odin’s spear that never missed its target, or Thor’s hammer that would return to his grasp every time, and like Bootes who in the sign of Virgo thrust his sickle into the Earth (Revelation 14:14-20) – the symbol of the leader with the Staff is again reflective of the divine position, rule by ordinance of the very hosts of heaven – the universe and nature itself – “what you bind in heaven will be bound on earth” or as above so below – balance and harmony; the good shepherd. This rod is fashioned from a serpent in Kemetic art.

 

The SWORD is the symbol of the warrior. It is the tool of restoration, to return to balance or to equilibrium and the blood sacrifice made to achieve that harmony, that return to peace.


The orders and medallion that cover the Emperor's uniform are also many star shapes with sun bursts around them, or other geometric solar symbols. in the photos ther are eight, four and six pointed stars. Refer back to the first photo and see young Makonnen wearing an 8 point star.

  

 On this coin we see the House of Judah seal of Ethiopia, note it has the crown and throne or symbols of the sun's/king's power, angels (emanations of the sun), branches (virgo) and the lion (leo).

The Lion Sun or Leo symbols have for centuries adorned the Ethiopian Kingship and dynasties. The lion's mane halo around His head is a headdress of nobility and the Ethiopian chiefs wore lion's pelts, the Sun Powers of their land. Orange is the lion’s mane colour and also another colour of Leo (although the lions of His Majesty’s palace are notably black-maned as if to point to the melanin-richness of Zion). Note that the hanging jewels of the crown look like fringe, both again I believe are representative of sun rays or corona like the mane. The corona is a symbol of Leo, the zodiac sign when the Sun’s power and glory is on the Summer Solstice. The crown itself represents the Ivinity of the one who wears it. The Star and Sun in the centre of the crown cannot be ignored as esoteric symbols of the cosmic throne. The detailing on the coat around the neck also frames the face as if sun rays are emanating outward, so that with the lion mane and golden crown, His Majesty’s head is framed as if it were the Lion Sun itself. RA’STAF’ARI = THE SUN’s/LION’s FEARLESSNESS or THE SUN/SON/LION TO BE FEARED. RA is the sun, ARI means lion in Hebrew. We have STAF to point to the scepter of right. As I probably mentioned before RASTA or RASTAU is a Kemetic word for the path between light and darkness, the journey the Sun makes in the underworld before reborn as Heru, symbolizing enlightenment.

The Lion here on one of His Majesty's throne chairs is standing on an orb, the Sun. There are also discs on the side under the lion, and a four leaf image signifying the sacred cross of the sun, the elements, cardinal points and so on again. Note that this position of the lion is also similar to Leo's position as he tramples on the hydra. The Conquering Lion hath prevailed! He has the whole world in His grip. While this Lion holds an orb, the Kemetic lion holds an ankh.

Another Throne with more lion images.

  

This Trinity symbol is also an ancient symbol that extends to the esoteric priesthood. The Emperor used it as His personal insignia because of His Name. The Power of the Trinity is a Star symbol, which His Majesty placed with a Star of David or downward facing triangle. The Emperor Himself used these ancient sacred symbols and so did Her Majesty as she wore the cross and order of Sheba. Note again the plants and flowers about the room and the leaf and vine detailing on the draperies. There is also a sun-shaped emblem in the centre of the display.The hand-sign His Majesty makes is also considered to be the six pointed star sign.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church also has images of an esoteric nature, the cross being the chief one that everyone uses.

 The masqel/maskal/maskel is another symbol that represents the cross of the sun, and which also has winding circles and coils that shows the serpent of Wisemind and the Tree of Life (Sephiroth). Not to mention Ethiopian crosses have a Star or triangle somewhere in the design. With maskels we can also count points in the design that signifiy the Ilah numbers of astrotheology like 12 + 1 (13), 4, 6, 3 and so on.

There is nothing new under the sun, what has been hidden will made be made Light again when the ages change. And the Age is changing! The Emperor of Ethiopia has loosed the seven seals and has opened the I, a well of forgotten Afrakan truths. So the literal interpretation of the Ible in our time, though it is not possible and truth for Iyesus in the physical existence of a person, it is possible and truth because of HIM! And the more ones continue to learn about the esoteric truths of all ages, the more the Scriptures will all make perfect sense that HIM leads us back to our true selves: the God-Man/Wombman, cosmically Ivine, terrestrially bound; for I and I are ALL Ivine and all destined to shine the LIGHT of Life and Love.

This is a summary of the vast information on the Sun, lion and Kristos King as I see them clearly shining through the Ivine Man the Negusa Negast Girmawi YAH Germawi Qedamawi Haile Sellassie

There is much more to reason on His Majesty, stay tuned for part 2 Dealing with titles of David as Virgo-Leo in Scripture.

I just listened to this lecture after making this post, had to link it because it explains a lot of what I didn't, but which is totally relevant to what I am saying. A good audio summary of the book Secret Teachings as well, though this lecture only covers the overall general idea of astrology and religion.

Blessed Heart of Truth,

Babylon's Use of Esoteric Knowledge and Symbols

Blessed RasTafari Love,

Give thanks for the love and powers of July 23^rd, the 122^nd Earthlight of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I. The 25^th was also my prince’s first earthlight and I am just so filled with gratitude for all the Love and Light he has brought into our family….

I know to those who are skeptical or hesitant it may seem like I am ranting on and on about astro-theology and modern religion, but I want to make it clear that I have to go on and on…because it’s not just about religion. Now that I am tuned into these Iritual symbols in Orthodoxy and the Scriptures both Ible and Apocrypha; I see them everywhere, on everything owned by anyone famous or wealthy - corporations, actors, musicians and novelists alike. When I watch television whether with the youts or not, I am amazed by the number of images or names/titles I recognize from my studies. The ancient world is very much present in our modern world, and influences everything we do or aspire to become, and yet for the majority of the world’s population influenced by American culture, there’s the idea that it’s “out with the old and in with the new” and that the old Eastern ways are uncivilized and barbaric when they really were not. 

It’s obvious that what was once the most sacred scientific and Iritual knowledge of symbols and titles and deities of Afrika, the Middle East and Asia have now devalued and applied to economy, fashion, music, film and books especially. Nothing spiritual, just “cool” art. Everything, everywhere all the time in art or media or fashion or music or agriculture is based on something cosmic or seasonal or philosophical (like metempsychosis, see Esoteric Knowledge page). The plot of every mainstream-endorsed work of fiction is always embedded with zodiac or riddled in esoteric mystery and exoteric confusion. Many movies, shows and books are based on legends of deities – Hercules? Perseus? The Son of God?

There is always the tale of the chosen one, his rise, his fall, his return to victory. This timeless never-tiring story of the Man-King or sometimes Woman-King is based on the Sun of the Zodiac, the Krist of the Bible. It depicts the King of Judah’s life story, his messianic destiny, trials and victory. The ageless truth that good will conquer evil is behind every plot and character.

While we partake in the fairytales of Hollywood in cinematic hits, they exploit our deities, changing their Images from Black to White to match the history books. And while they are busy manipulating our ideas about God and salvation, corporations exploit our symbols. All around us we are being bombarded with brands that carry esoteric symbols, who take images of principle and honour and corrupt them with unethical trade and manufacture policies. We no longer gain anything Iritual or wise from the use of our Images because we are blind to them and the energies have been corrupted! It’s like a sick game in my opinion, it’s all mind control! By forcing us be ignorant all the time, corporations can continue to exploit our weaknesses, our carnal nature - our need, wants, pleasures, vices, the ego’s prejudices and self-righteousness. They tell us what to want and when to want it, when to feel happy and all other emotions through images and titles and stories. 

Come on Bredren and Sistren, InI have to be wise to the reality taking place in secret right before our very eyes – all of the war and food poisoning (GMOs) and cloning going on is because of this obsession with the creative powers of the Iniverse and man’s ability to mimic them. To become a God in flesh is what they are after, but this “godliness” is not for the benefit or love of anyone! They seem to know how to survive with or without us, or in spite of us! 

ALL societies are based on hidden obsessions with everything cosmic, and they don’t want us to know, because we used to know and now we don’t because of slavery nad colonization. The lies of His-tory! How do they answer to that? Dark Ages ring a bell? They burned our Kemetic libraries down, the last houses of everything Afrikans knew and held secret for thousands of years in Alexandria were destroyed by tyranny. The Greco-Romans passed law that none of their subjects, even their own people, could know what they did  - how they changed the course of time – the calendars, the feasts, the traditions, everything! iF they had not banned our temples, burnt them and built over them, banned all our sacred images and the priests who carried the secret sacred knowledge of them, then they couldn't use them today in any way they want to, with any hidden or obvious agenda!

White Supremacists today are descended from an empire desperate to achieve and know the hidden mysteries Afrika was pillaged for, but they refuse to let us in on it because it is our destiny and remembering and feeling this truth makes us powerful, and peaceful and righteous. The world would be healed because the majority of its sufferers would come back to knowing themselves as greatness. It is food for thought. 

And to call to mind examples of symbols (cosmic shapes, geometric shapes, numbers, letters, which all come from Nature) I am talking mainly about the American global mainstream mindspace(corps, logos, characters and statues especially): NASA – the so-called space/alien/planet explorers, Starbucks, Statue of Liberty (looks like Mithra), Colombia Pictures’ logo, American money images, Target’s logo, Red Cross’s logo, Converse’s logo, Wellness Dogfood logo. Companies like Disney and Old Navy also exploit our symbols. The most popular include the rose, the phallus, the branch, crescen moon, star, sphere/orb, sun, pentagon, octagon, hexagon, cross, serpent, staff, triangle, lion…so many symbols the list goes on and on. Old Navy even uses the sankofa heart – my princess has a dress with it! You would think “oh it’s a heart dress,” but the heart is a sankofa heart when you really focus in on the designs! 

How about the fact that celebrities, the most famous people are called “Stars” and who “shine and “sparkle” in the light of fame? Most of them are even born in the sign of LEO, the Champion, the sign that adores limelight the most. These are the people who work for the secret societies, who put their ideas and brands and images out into the world for us to be mesmerized and locked in. The “endorsements” they get are really their way of giving back to the ones who make them famous. Take Rihanna for example, she is considered “Illuminati princess” and part of that “uncle Tom” family of Black celebs and she wears many many Kemetic symbols. As a result Kemet is being called Illuminati and pagan and witchcraft. This is ignorant blasphemy! Is she even aware of what she is doing, defaming? This I often wonder, do these Black artists even know? How about Lady Gaga and Katy Perry who also use a lot of zodiac, Kemet symbolism and mythological legend in their music videos? Is it purpose work? They just make it seem like it was a "cool idea."

How many celebs advertise products or lifestyles that are extremely harmful: diet pills, GMO foods, dairy, alcohol, promiscuity, addiction and so on. The genres of movies they make, they spend so much money on these esoteric films and call it “fantasy” and “witchcraft” but in reality it is secret knowledge, esoteric wise mind that describes laws of life and mindspace. And if you think they themselves are free from the turmoil, think again: drug overdoses, plane and car crashes? It is NO SECRET and NO LIE that Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, Lisa Lopez, Aaliyah and Whitney Houston were victims of Hollywood’s wicked secret societies. There are those who show dates some of them died or suffered tie into sacred dates of esoteric meaning.

You can find a really good summary of symbols on the Esoteric Knowledge page under Secret Teachings of All Ages.

So, while we may feel like we embrace our Afrikan selves, and we may feel like we know Black-my-story; the astro-theological aspect has been effectively kept under wraps for the purpose of world domination. Our sacred rites have been tabooed so that we can focus on economy. It’s out there in plain sight, but the knowledge or the sacred language behind the symbols is hidden. Yes we may dabble, we may learn this means that, but do we know how to USE these symbols? I don’t think anyone has the full picture, only the power to keep learning and harnessing Wise Mind from the Iniverse. I don’t think any of us really can know what Kemet really thought or did because the language is dead so I feel like the interpretation will always be lacking. So again it is possible that what we know is never enough, and it is possible that Babylon is counting on us never having the time to achieve that special knowledge to make it enough. We are so bombarded by the new gods and their symbols, and are so caught up in owning stuff, in the worries of survival and bills and illness; that our minds are being corrupted and made unfertile to knowing and accepting the truth.

The Ible says it is an Iritual war we are fighting, and so it is. Our Iritual or Kristos-Conscious progress or basic awareness is being compromised because economy profits off our ignorance and carnal indulgences. Every advertisement we watch is designed to place us in the shoes of someone, that we may experience the benefit of the product they are selling. Our emotions are being manipulated so that we focus on acquiring the wrong things. Life’s about self-indulgence, status, popularity and beauty isn’t it? 

And this is where my appreciation of Scripture and Order comes in, because for the unlearned coming into RasTafari straight out Babylon, you need to know right from wrong in a carnal sense. You need to get aware and tune into your own carnal self. And so it happens that the law helps us self-evaluate our habits and actions, reactions. Though it may be used negatively when being played against others, especially InI Wombman; the Bible is good at explaining what’s bad such as negative traits and conduct (it doesn’t focus much on the good, I mean, we get one chapter Proverbs 31 that really speaks about a wife’s true identity in a natural positive light). So in this pan-Afrikan movement, as RasTafari claims to be most undoubtedly, InI have to be wise about Irituality and know that one can’t act badly and expect to live Godly. Having principle is key. Taming the carnal abandon, the indulgence in indiscretion, allows the mindspace to clear some room, to be allowed to breathe and therefore become fertile for planting the seeds of knowledge. 

All RasTafari need to KNOW, need to take the time to tune into what’s going on. InI are involved in society too, simply because we have to live in it. InI are using symbols we don’t really overstand too. We are shunning others for the same reason, ignorance. And it isn’t until we educate ourselves diligently and earnestly that things will start to improve. How? Because, speaking from my own experience, knowledge is a powerful weapon, it is a defense against ignorance and wickedness! Knowledge makes you feel better about yourself and empowers you to make a better life. It grounds you with your roots and culture and builds your principles. Knowledge and honour of ankhcestry helps you make more informed decisions and to really evaluate what is needed and what is not allowing better opportunities or freedom.

And this is why I am saying the ESOTERIC does not only apply to religion it applies to all aspects of our lives - fashion, music, food, work, entertainment, school, basic morality -  because Babylon is indeed making One system in the end. These different sectors share the same main ideas, use one another, and support one another to create an overall atmosphere of lifestyle. All these symbols and brands we bow to, have a hidden language behind them that is working against global human population. What makes it sad is that they are using Afrikan symbols to kill Afrika, so being empowered with the Wise Mind to decode the symbols they use in their logos and movies, desensitizes InI, and makes us free from their clutches. Why support corporations using your own history against you? 

RasTafari must promote the small business owner who is more transparent, the handmade artist who is readily available to explain their work and who makes things that represent good word sound, uses our symbols in a positive manner. RasTafari Dawtas and Bredren belong to that community, but InI again have to really know our symbols and how to use them without exploitation. InI cannot be walking around with ankhs and using words and deeds that kill life, that deny life to grow. InI cannot represent Afrika and uplift Afrika but know nothing of the continent’s SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE. InI just need to be more mindful and aware of the signs and symbols, the most ancient and the most sacred and revered creations of human overstanding – symbols which came from Nature Herself and which are therefore tied to “as above so below.

Esoteric knowledge changes your life, for this kind of knowledge is the true heartical appreciloving of the Greatness of the people who lived these truths and it creates the DNA-deep bonds of Wise Mind. Esoteric Wise Mind is freeing and limitless in discoveries. Everything now has meaning, everything now has value that is not defined by money. Things get better in your life the more you know and I am witness to the fact that the ESOTERIC is ours to own, not the Illuminati’s and we have to take back our right to know our symbols and not let them be used against us through the economy and all its industries.

My next post will deal with the symbols of the Throne of David.

Selah bless,

The Origin of the Bible Religion and Feelings on Mansions

Greetings in the Name of the Blessed King and Queen RasTafari,

Give thanks for life, health and the will to do right and live right each day, and for love and the receiving of love. 

I just want to point out – if it isn’t obvious already  - that I will be doing a series of posts geared to show a lot of new information that I am currently studying in my own personal journey to learn and reveal all the wonderful things about King Alpha. Not everything will align to what every RasTafari mansions deem to be RasTa tradition or beliefs, but my aim is to reveal not only the TRUTH about a lot of things, but to focus on glorifying HIM. And I have uncovered a lot. So I warn the RasTafari reader now that I will say my piece in my personal awakening to share with other RasTafari what I honestly feel is the TRUTH about who InI really are and who our JAH is and should be remembered as…

(Note this has been edited  I added more)

To reiterate what I was saying in my intro to astro-theology, the first thing I learned in dealing with decoding the Ible to its true esoteric meanings which were once indigenous to Kemet and other Eastern cultures, is that the Sun is the Image of God of the entire Earth for all ages, and this is mainly because scientifically, or naturally, it IS. The Sun is the great nucleus around which the planets revolve; it gives them all their energies and individual life forces. Without the Sun, which is the name of this star and should be capitalized, we here on Earth would be nothing. For example, our bodies contain chemicals that react to the Sun like melanin and serotonin. All plants which we eat rely on the Sun to grow and make nutrients and in turn we rely on them to have optimum health. The Sun’s energy is our Life-force. All seasons and festivities are based on the movements of the Sun, even our calendar, our vacationing traditions. It is not Sun worship in my opinion, but more like submission to the truth that the Sun is the Ruler of our Iniverse and the Natural Laws that cause it to be. We are at the mercy of the heavens, and astro-theology is a way to make the unknown easier to encounter. Astro-theology or subsequent religion based on Nature mythology, therefore is man’s way of coming to grips with this  visible Power of God, learning its movements through the twelve mansions of the zodiac every 365 days; and connecting its reign  to his own yearly revolutions, his own structure, nature, purpose and destiny. 

Accepting the Sun’s godly reign over our world is a step crucial to overstanding the astrological theology of the Bible, and means that ALL Hebrew or Christian Scriptures and doctrines of the Church are really based on astro-theology. The God and Son of God of the Ible are indeed personifications of the Sun and planetary bodies because of their natural reign and our dependence on these solar bodies for Earth’s steadfast regulation. Even the Holy Irit is the Sun, and once was the Mother principle. Sunday is the holy day of Iyesus because that name is a name for the Sun personified as a Son-King – Sunday literally means the Sun’s day just as Monday is the Moon’s. Although Christianity denies any “pagan” association InI must overstand that paganism is nothing to be prejudiced against… well unless talking about animal and baby blood sacrifices.

All in all, the Hola Scriptures are astrological science or riddled Iritual philosophy based on cosmic science as it impacts humans. Therefore almost everything is metaphorical or allegorical and not meant to be literal (and where it’s meant to be literal or even historical it is still heavily coded). If we overstand that this is the truth, then it makes sense that such strange things happened in supposed history. The only clear thing the Bible has at face value is probably laws and proverbs on morality. If you still need coaxing, I challenge you to again if you haven’t yet, visit the Ible and just pick any Book and read. How long does it take before you get to a heavenly or cosmic reference? Does it make sense now somewhat? In fact, it won’t until you read the constellations. There is more to be decoded than just Sun-references, as many trees and animals are also code for philosophical concepts of Irituality. (See The Secret Teachings of All Ages, quoted on the Esoteric Knowledge Page).

Because of the exoteric allegory and metaphor we have to accept that we are not dealing with the truth or the full truth, and therefore cannot achieve truth or make logic.We have to be wary of how religious doctrine has shaped our lives as individuals living under its dogma, and as a world buzzing with countless interpretations and practices based on the same information or doctrine. The exoteric misuse coupled with the mistranslated text of the KJV can create a thick veil, distraction and certain blindness to our true destiny for Inity with JAH through Creation/Neter, that is, through knowledge of Natural Sciences of Laws of JAH in our solar system. 

For natural science is the purest form of spirituality according to the ancients: knowing one’s origin, one’s design (chakra,Ital.,Iditation, chants etc) and one’s destiny as a Being of Light.  The symbol of our Iritual Origin and make up is mirrored in the Sun and stars.  This knowledge is what the priesthood knew, what the Egyptians depicted as gods and goddesses, why the Mayans say we are Star People. The esotericism from whence Christianity came bears the true meaning of Divinity, which basically means from the heavens or cosmic, and yet to talk of the stars in religion is taboo/occult/heretical/pagan! The entire Bible maligns Kemet and yet everything that the Church has adapted is from the same Nile Valley Golden Empire. 

Rastafari has also adopted esoteric symbolism, for instance the symbols of the sixpointed star, the lion and also the ritual prayer at 6 am, 12 pm, 6 pm which represent the three stages of the Sun - Heru - Ra- Set and 12 midnite is Osiris in the tomb. Our three times are equal to the Earth's daily movement around the Sun.

So we have to get it through our thick skulls that this taboo only exists to prevent us from re-adopting our past Afrikan culture, or really knowing that we are corrupting our part cultures, especially the Kemetic root or else Britain and all Europe ( by means of ancient Greece and Rome) would be shown to be liars and imposters and could not be the authors of science and philosophy or rulers of a world empire anymore! 

This is basic pan-Afrikan knowledge, and yet in RasTafari today, many refuse to really sit down and seriously consider these truths. I mean why is redeemed Israel- RasTafari, still not coming to grips with the reality that whether Orthodox or otherwise, all Christianity or all religious texts we ever had, are edited corrupted versions of on a sacred secret knowledge about man and woman’s shared cosmological knowledge and manifested experiences here on Earth? Why is this a threat? If we can find the true authors and ideas, why is such a threat? Kemet has done us nothing wrong but we believe when the Bible says it is pagan and we feel no remorse that it was destroyed, as written in Scripture. But Kemet shared the same home as Kush, Ethiopia…we must not forget the unity of these lands, in using the Bible, right?

There is ONE BLOODLINE meaning one umbrella or group using the same Kemetic ideas, titles, symbols and gods, that is ruling the entire world right now with mainstream economy, media and international trade laws. They are exploiting our ignorance of Natural Law to the fullest, putting us in graves, keeping us like dogs at their heels for we only know what they want us to at any given moment, in the mainstream. They have taken the symbols, language, titles and thrones from Afrika and made them fit their agenda, maligning the ancient use of such by Afrikan priests and kings. “Thou shall make no graven image” no hieroglyphs, no stele, no busts, no anything that remind us of who or what our gods looked like, or who we looked like or what we knew! Only the secret-society white man is allowed to make these images and tell us to worship them! Even in the Orthodox Church many ancient black images were replaced by White Church “donations!” Our languages were also corrupted and totally wiped out as the last tribes’ men and women born on the continent died as slaves in the West or Europe. We cannot sit aside today and simply say “Christianity is really Afrikan” and let that be what comforts us. We have to know for ourselves, that it really was not Afrikan, not in the sense of FOR Afrikans.

This secret esoteric Afrikan knowledge was what made Christianity and the Scriptures we call the Holy Bible and Apocrypha and Hermetics and Kybalion and so on. But the information was heavily coded and was purposely altered into a corrupted form because this knowledge was being forced out of the hand Kemet, just like her independence. The Greeks had no language, Kemet gave them a language to record these Scriptures in, and with the alphabet Greek influence grew and they started writing and creating histories for themselves as civilized people. It was what Greece was given by their new Egypt, that created modern religion.

Kemet as a Nation under the umbrella of Ethiopian bloodlines was the Golden Age Kingdom, the place where astro-theology had thrived and dominated the Afrikan continent and from it Europe got its knowledge and stole the power to rule the entire world through Judaism and Christianity. What we know as Judaism and Christianity as it turns out, were created FOR THE GENTILES by the JUDAHITE and KEMETIC PRIESTHOODS – on two occasions. The first time in 323 BCE Ptolemy Soter I had Serapis created by the Kemetic priests for his image to be worshipped all over Egypt. Serapis was the first wihte image, and the only one really, to be created for Black people. 70 CE marks the crushing of the Maccabees and other Jews in their capital city. It saw the hidden fulfilment of the prophecies of the New Testament, by the Roman messiah Titus Flavius. His family was Caesarian, who claimed the same divine right as kings and wanted to be worshipped and paid tribute in Judaea, their new colony. They got the rabbis who were looking to profit rather than burn,  to create a book that held Judah’s messianic prophecies but in the Image of Jesus, whose  image was Serapis.  This was combined with the Torah to create an overall theology that would harmonize the Gentiles with the Afrikans and all other races on the Asian continent.

These two leaders pestered the secret priesthoods of Memphis, Alexandria and all over the Nile Valley, insisting that they know the spirituality of the Copts and the Jews, as such was the greatest institution of rule in the kingdoms of Judaea and Nile Valley (as in Biblical Israel, showing you the parallels are there!). I figure they mean Kabbala and Hermetics. To have that secret knowledge was to have rule because the people would submit to the gods and sons of the gods, and not these foreign kings. These men therefore got the knowledge and created divinity for themselves in the new god Serapis-Jesus  and banned Afrikan gods. Isis and her Sun-Kings were replaced. Having this knowledge compiled in this Book and manipulating ideas of the Afrikan Way with slavery, was what the Europeans used to legitimize the Atlantic Slave Trade as they took their divine rights from Jesus Christ, Son of David.  It was NEVER MEANT for AFRIKANS as we already had our own kingdom and Irituality, but was FORCED ON ALL OF US through colonization and slavery. “The slave ship was called Jesus Christ…I wonder why?”

All of Afrika suffered it brutally but Ethiopia. So then of course there is the history of the EOTC…I have always thought the Tewahedo was much better because it was accepted rather than forced brutally upon the Afrikans. It produced a wonderful pair like JAH RasTafari, so it couldnt be all bad, right? But in reality, Ethiopia changed from worshipping Aries and many other cosmic deities to Iyesus by the diligence of a young boy. The founder of the EOTC, Saint Frumentius was likely a Black Greek, a Syro-Phoenician from Tyre Lebanon, who was shipwrecked as a boy and ended up at Axum. Being a Christian Greek, he taught Christianity to the sons of the Negus and when Ezana became ruler with his brother they accepted it as the State religion in fourth century. Frumentius became the Patriarch of the Axumite Empire with Alexandria’s blessings, as he went there begging for them to send a Bishop to a growing Christian population in Axum. Alexandria was the Coptic head seat of Christianity, and Bishops including those of Rome, were appointed there. Frumentius was a contemporary of Constantine, Eusebius, Arius and Alexandria's patriarch Anathanasius, in fact he received his power and titles from these men.  He answered to these men! He was a foreigner and all Ethiopian Bishops were foreigners.

And we must overstand also that the EOTC is still joined to these Churches to this day as it is part of the World Council of Churches and that it cannot truly be divorced from Roman Catholicism. I mean, they are hailing the same deities. The Emperor of Ethiopia was instrumental in this union, and  had no problem with this because He knew it was all one. They worship Mary, so does the EOTC venerate her and they share Saints like Frumentius, having feasts and prayers and traditions in common. So the question is whether ones as pan-Afrikans, are also okay with the EOTC being joined to all other Christian Churches?

So we have to be real about religion, even Orthodoxy’s history and true astrotheological meaning as a Lion-Sun-King Messianic Church (as the awaited Messiah is the Lion King, but truth is every year this awaited messiah comes on July 23^rd in the sign of Leo, this day is like the coronation when the Sun’s corona is brilliant and begins its hottest month.)  

In the end, are ones going to remain taking it all literally and believing in existence of a historical Iyesus who is really a European idol the thirty year old Serapis? Christianity is Christianity, it doesnt matter where the Church is, they are all One.

Aside from the sketchy history of the Church overall, I am more open to seeing how in RasTafari mansions now are influenced by religion, how they may use the Bible to feed petty prejudices. I do also know that it is okay to want law and rites, it is okay to be comfortable in such an atmosphere as long as there is logic and love and not prejudices. Wombman are most oppressed by the Ible, and we have to be really careful about how and why we use it, and who we allow to interpret it for us (we can learn and listen but should have our own interpretations and studies) because as I have only recently REALLY real-eyesed for myself, let it sink in totally: the Ible doesn't like women very much! It gives them no rights and little love. Even though these people cant be proven to have been historical persons (i.e. real), we cannot deny the doctrine that ruled their lives and which is now ruling ours. I have heard Sistren expression oppression in RasTafari under mansion law, but I have never really felt oppressed even though I gave up a lot and very quickly to be part of a yard. 

Though I had to make a lot of changes I never felt like I was doing something I didn't feel was right for me to really separate Iself from Babylon - that's important. Balance is key along with Truth. So in being real about religion I have been asking myself some serious questions, and these questions are inspired by those Sistren who are themselves without fear or judgemnet from others, who know that they are Lionesses in the ways that count: Ital, homeschooling, entrepreneurship, knowledge, yoga/fitness: so are we going to keep segregating over laws in the Ible and divide ourselves into mansions based on dogma like, to eat vine vegetables or not to? To keep silent in the Church or not to? To wear a crown covering constantly or not to? To wear strictly skirts at all times or not to? Who is perfect? Who has time to watch face when there are so many problems we should be focusing on, like mainstream lies and negative influences on the youths! So many things we segregate and argue over as RasTa, and while i do agree that Rastafari should have some kind of uniform Identity and practice; do these outward reflections all really matter so much if I and I are not Iritually advancing at the heart? Or building up our Zion with nuclear families, ital, schools, professional skills, agriculture and artistry? What has happened to the collective security, the nation-building agenda, the New Creators of Afrika? 

I personally in my experience feel no need to hold a mansion because I am now biased to think mansions serve to  create too many distractions and petty attitudes. The focus is on rulebook and the “most-Holy” judgment act is tiring and it gets no one anywhere in terms of their true Iritual overstanding or duty to rebuild Zion-Ethiopia, especially if it is that there is no new knowledge, or any thought about educating and preparing the camp. I found myself being influenced by prejudices and finding faults with others or being in situations where others were being attacked for their "sins," and it became a downpression. So I had to step away from others who weren’t about the works of JAH RasTafari, or who had problems with inter-mansion reasonings, who were using the Bible negatively under the rule of mansion. And I mean no disrespect or harm, neither am I calling out anyone or naming names, I am honestly sharing that we have to be careful in Rastafari, of the negative influences we adopt from religion.

While I am fully committment to my Dawta lifestyle and don't intend to change my Livity as I have presented on this forum, through all my changes mentally, I have gained valuable life lessons. Especially that WISEMIND is ALL, having a sound MIND and KNOWLEDGE OF JAH in the REAL sense and not the mythological corrupted sense which was always created for the ignorant masses not the learned seers. No one has your salvation in their hand, every Rasta has to still experience JAH for themselves and learn the Truth so that they can make the best informed decisions for their lives and their families’.Irituality is inside of each of us. InI have to really open our minds and eyes to what is all around us, to find our place in the circle of life.

Some math logic…

Newlidj (new knowledge) + Istory + Nature = Personal Perception of Truth + Personal Ivinity & Salvation + Personal Perception and Messianic Inspiration of His/Her Imperial Majesty.

Everything I have learned about Christianity and the true origin of the “Holy” Scriptures (indeed they are FILLED with HOLES) has only strengthened my cultural Identity as RasTafari. My core philosophical ground has not shaken and I exalt HIM even more than I ever could. Though through esotericism I am redefining my RasTafari culture with truth and logic, it has all been a pleasant refreshing awakening. But it wasn’t an easy road, and it was indeed humbling too. 

So don’t think for a moment that I have not battled over n over with myself and all that I thought I knew or learned or had learned or currently practice because of my influences in Rastafari: the MANSION traditions of Rastafari (which deem Kemet to be pagan). Don’t think that I have not seen the contradictions that I will make or have made to our beliefs and so on. Don’t think that I have not considered over and over in my head things His Majesty has said like “Man cannot emanate deity,” or when He spoke of Iyesus and Maryam literally even though they are Heru, Osiris and Isis in one (the Sun and Sirius), or when He mentioned the importance of others being brought into the fellowship of Iyesus. Or that I have not felt bad for being against any mansion or Orthodoxy because of their Biblical oppression. But because I continuously asked for JAH’s guidance and revelation of His and Her Ivine WiseMind and Truth in this situation, I finally found for my own self answers I feel are solid, and I encourage the I’s to be open to them as well. So to put my final thoughts on what I have said thus far, and in response to the idea of belonging to a particular Mansion right now as Fari:

First, even though I don’t think Irituality has or needs a name per say, I choose to be called RasTafari and not Christian or Orthodox. I believe the two to have two different outlooks on Divinity and the Messianic Throne – and this Throne serves as an Inspiration and a Guide back to Right. I believe Zion exists on tangible and cosmic levels, but that it matters in the here and now through the principles of JAH whose Wise Mind illuminates InI and is the foundation of every Rasta family. The One Who stimulated the awakening of this Kristos Consciousness and my Heritage in me is Emperor Haile Sellassie the First and not Iyesus Kristos, or any image of the Serapis. I know that HIM had a relationship with this deity but I also believe that He HIMSelf was an Avatar of Deity, and because of His relevance to AFRIKANS in a much more positive and active Light in THIS time, Selah cancels out the other. The David-Judah link is thought to be Biblical but it is a cosmic concept, and goes beyond Jesus and Scripture. So far InI have thought that Biblical prophecies were unique or specifically related to Israel when in reality it is beyond human bloodlines and is an infinite cosmic reality that man partakes in. So again, One cancels out the other in the Name of Judah. (more reasoning to come on Leo but you can read for yourself!)

So even though the Jesus link is basically problematic, I think it is only problematic when a person needs Jesus to be real, needs to believe that he will do everything for them and they have no power to be good or godly themselves. But if you believe in Afrika and truly are pan-Afrikan Garveyite RasTa FarI, then you can trust that Mama Afrika has everything you need in Her, and that her ancient ways are truth and were stolen for a reason: so that things would be as they are today, with no Afrikan throne, no monarchy, no talk of a kindred king or Messiah by any Black person.  It’s only the British royal family the world sees and considers now. All of this was for their glory, not our personal or national well-being. Hardly anything we have that is Afrikan, has been left alone, least of all our Afrikan Christian Churches. So for those who haste to condemn the ancient Kemetians and so on as pagan and heretics, as I once did, I hope that one day you will see that it was wrong and it is a mentality of slavery – Afrikan - self-hate.  Though I once disagreed with this statement: Christianity is certainly not better than Kemetic Wise Mind. And the proof is in the society that Christianity has built – for example Kemet never had jails or any of these institutions created for the mentally ill and corrupted.  These people had superior minds and societies and were crushed by the leaders and religions that today are causing war in the East!

Second, in spite of all His Majesty said or the Christian authorities that He was loyal to throughout life, I know that these institutions were created and are based on manipulations of the True Natural Laws or Hola Science of Astrotheology. I believe that sometimes we have to step back and just let JAH do the talking and let things unfold through diligent observation and seeking of knowledge. Because I did that and just followed the path the information and signs of my world led me, I can see all Natural or cosmic or scientific Law which created the theology of religion, symbolically working through the Orthodox Church and Throne of David and Messianic Kingship of Haile Sellassie. I also see that the congregation has a veil over their eyes to the symbols and signs of NETER that are RIGHT IN FRONT THEIR EYES. I see that the esoteric and exoteric are based on ONE, and that together they are Kristos Consciousness in REAL TANGIBLE TRUTH. The symbols are not what they seem, but are easy to know for real.

Third, I believe that in spite of HIMSelf and what He knew of Himself and the world, or what He practiced, His Majesty is the Avatar of Kristos and that HE DOES EMANATE DEITY, the SUN – the Sun or Son or Messiah being the Most ancient symbol of the Divinity of Life or the embodied Source or Light and Power of the unseen force Creator God, Kristos. Every zodiac sign affects the world environment as well as the temperaments of spirits in man and woman, planets also come into effect as they too cause emotional currents in Earth. I believe that His Majesty’s entire life was as a Son Servant (Branch of Righteousness/David) to the Most High Father (Whom the King always addressed), was a Manifestation of NETER – the Solar System, the He imanifested the symbols and attributes/titles of the Lion-Sun-King, the Son of the Sun. I believe that the Emperor was the Vehicle of Change, the change for the Good, the God, the Truth, Afrika’s Light and Champion. Being the King of Judah was His station as a Man and was one that cosmically represented the rule of good or right or knowledge over wrong and evil or darkness of mind. There is a balance of Astro-theology and Nile Valley rule in HIM in His entire Life.

 I believe that through the inspiration and kinship of HIM, the TRUTH of all ancient worlds which is ageless and steadfast in the heavens above, has revealed itself for those lost Afrikans who have the eyes to see and ears to hear. Through His own life and office as King of Ethiopia, He shines as a beacon leading us to discover God in our minds. There is no longer myth and allegory and lies to rule over InI who take the time to seek knowledge. He is real and is not a myth and we can Trust in HIM. King Solomon teaches us that seeking Wise Mind is the key to having a royal, powerful and prosperous life. His and Her  Majesties remind us of our greatness as kings and queens, our  Wise Mind that gave us rule and strength.

Fourth, the Emperor believed in religious tolerance because He believed the Creator was only One even if we called it different names. And so, I say that I personally do not need to be Orthodox to show that I am following in the Kristos’ footsteps, whether Iyesus or Haile Sellassie I. That is not really the fulfilment of following HIM. For righteousness belongs to no one language or form of Irituality, and yet again, I am chosing to be RasTafari because of HIM and HIS LIFE and Manifestation of Kristos Consciousness which has led I to I own. Why is it okay to call on Iyesus but not on Haile Sellassie who really was the Lion of Judah?

Fifth, The Emperor was engaged with Rastafari, acknowledged Rastafari, did not reject or deny our view of HIM, fully overstanding, from what I can tell, our Messianic adoration of HIM. His Majesty believed in the Inity of all Afrikans worldwide (EWF?) this was not under the rule that we all had to be EOTC, the Church was an offering because He couldn’t do anything illegal in Jamaica in helping Afrikans who wanted to denounce their colonial government.

Sixth, I have concluded that even if Rasta choose to use Scriptures, it’s not a problem if ones also choose to decode it esoterically to really take in the fullness. Similarly if ones still choose Ethiopian Orthodoxy, then that is by your right, but truth is also your right, and if you use the Ible religiously or continue to follow the rigid Statutes of Scriptures or mansion, at least it will be in truth and hopefully more significant to your life. There is no foul-play when one informs the I Self on the meanings behind rituals, feasts and symbols.  Focus on your state of mind and your character will follow.

Note that the Bible has many sides, it is like a cube that can be deciphered from many angles. The literal interpretation of Scripture Rastafari use to describe the Christ or Davidic Kristos King Character of the Haile Sellassie I, is not erroneous because REAL history reveals that the Ible shouldn’t be exoterically or literally interpreted to find truth and Iritual union with JAH. What I have found is that the language of the Ible and the literal interpretation is a mirror, a mythological language that tells man’s overstanding of the cosmos: the Zodiac and the Sun (this is the esoteric or hidden knowledge of the Levites or Kabbalah); and this was knowledge the Hebrews learned from their parents, Ethiopia/Kemet or as I call them together, the Nile Valley Civilization.

Seventh, it cannot be ignored that it is possible to prove that everything cultural and religious in our world is ideally based on legends and folklore, and that the famed men of Scriptures are just idols and not historical figures. This doesn’t mean that these mythologies don’t become history (historical figures) themselves to the people who believe in them. These ideals become history by the people that live through them. You can’t go to Jerusalem, Ethiopia or Rome and say the God of their Christianity didn’t exist, because of the tangible history created for Iyesus in these places through symbols, titles, architecture and rituals. Same thing in Bobo Shanti and believing that Prince Emmanuel appeared on the Earth as lightning, without father or mother. In the case of Christianity, our duty is to know the Afrikan and embedded cosmic root of the same Messianic Figure and these attributes.

While Iyesus played an important role as inspiration and morality and goodness in the eyes of JAH RasTafari,  this will never change what has happened to make Christianity world religion or even state religion of Ethiopia. Though our cultures were built on the symbols and titles and supposed bloodlines of the characters of the Bible, it is not about them being real men, it is about the principles and strength they represent, about the points of Wise Mind they teach us, the signs they give us that we may know and think twice as “there is nothing new under the Sun.” Therefore, with truth, I do endorse and believe in the energy and personality of this Kristos Figure Standard Bearer regardless of the Name; but I believe it to have MANIfested in HIM JAH RasTafari, a real Man.

I want to add an excerpt from the Kebra Nagast’s preface by Budge which implies that myth is a part of building an identity as a society (think Christianity in Judaea to replace any Messianic ideas amongst the Jews), and that conquered Romanized Judaea/Palestine or Roman root of Christianity is no longer our dynasty; in that Ethiopia is considered New Jerusalem Zion and that it is a site where the Bible’s culture, symbols and characters have been objectified by the people and monarchy according to their own Afrikan traditions not slavery. Budge says:

The original form of the Legend of the Queen of SHEBA probably came into being soon after the great invasion of ABYSSINIA by the SEMITES in the tenth century before CHRIST. In the opinion of the ABYSSINIANS divine authority was given to it by Our Lord by His words quoted in the Gospels (Matt. xii. 42; Luke xi. 31), and they never doubted that SOLOMON was the father of the son of the Queen of SHEBA. It followed as a matter of course that the male descendants of this son were the lawful kings of ABYSSINIA, and as SOLOMON was an ancestor of CHRIST they were kinsmen of Our Lord, and they claimed to reign by divine right. This belief was probably shared by p. xi the kings of the Semitic kingdom of ’AKSÛM, which city was at a very early period regarded as a duplicate of JERUSALEM and was called the "ZION OF ABYSSINIA". When the ABYSSINIANS adopted Christianity in the second half of the fourth or the first half of the fifth century they decided to sever as far as possible their connection with their pagan ancestors from ARABIA. The SEMITES who claimed kinship with the HEBREWS of JERUSALEM abandoned MAḤRAM and the other gods of the MINAEANS and SABAEANS in favour of JAHWEH, the god of the HEBREWS.

As above, so below; man manifests what he sees, hears and thinks, including cosmic mythologies. Mythologies, when they are not used to enslave or exploit people, are there to lead us back to truth, to our cosmic souls when we can decode their symbols. All religions use myth, but they are not encouraging Wise Mind; like Christianity when they ask you to accept Iyesus Kristos’ Virgin Birth and resurrection after being dead for three days. In esoteric reasoning, I don’t think that it destroys one’s personal Iritual beliefs to know that said beliefs are based on mythos and fact mixed together in the end, because myth and history together as religion come from scientific fact or Nature, acting as the Instrument of the unseen God’s Image, will, knowledge and power.

The Esoteric Wise Mind or the hidden Word or Illuminated philosophy and natural order behind the mythos is what we are looking for when we attempt to live Iritually, this is where all the important Afrikan ways come from: the crystals, herbs, oils, colours, yoga, dreads, fasting, ital. etc. These are all manifestations of Inity with Neter. So knowing the principles that the mythos represent allows humanity to fully partake in the Iritual meaning and astrological majesty of the characters or symbols of “religion.” The five/six point stars, the lotus, staff, the cross, ankh, and so on. This is what the hieroglyphs represent, a sacred secret knowledge of Man’s interaction with Neter, JAH, Nature in an effort to gain Wise Mind and Illumination or Everliving Life Power.

Learning the mythos of the signs and symbols that adorn the Throne of David open up the Bible’s wide variety of hidden astro-theological mysteries and their relevance and hidden presence in our current Judeo-Christian theology. It is as if RasTafari have only scratched the surface because we have not gone back into Istory enough without a Christian-bias (in my opinion of course). I personally don’t mind the skepticism or lost historical proof of cities and bloodlines of David and Israel to folklore in this journey, because in the creation of such characters or any kingdom in history, it has always been about the SYMBOL and TITLE of rule and not the person itself (like the Sun and lion and titles being an inheritance of all Ethiopian kings regardless of succession). The Symbol and Title have immortality through Wise Mind and Language and man shares that immortality by the ritual use, honour and protection of the symbol and title (hence why the world is run by that ONE BLOODLINE through secret societies hidden behind our Kemetic SYMBOLS). We as Afrikans until the rising of pan-Afrikanism, have lost that knowledge of context and the importance of symbols as sacred language and identity, symbols and titles being the true inherited bloodline more than actual people. We have taken back our language, our freedom to communicate visually.

Take Adinkra for ensample, it is the Akan sacred language, speaking of the strengths, nature and beliefs of the people, you see the symbol and you know its Title and associated story or Wise Mind and you wear it to harness that power.  They are social and yet Iritual talismans.

Eighth and finally, although it is tradition that all spiritual faiths be formed on mythical figures (personifications of planets and stars while the actual plot is the season or movement), such is NOT TRUE for RasTafari. RasTafari is a REAL Man whose life was cosmically enhanced and balanced, as above so below, and aligned to the Symbol and Title of King David, or Leo or even Hercules, King of the Zodiac.  His life can be likened to mythology as a way to validate that InI can attribute the title Kristos King or Messiah or God upon Haile Sellassie I. None of this disproves His Majesty therefore, only strengthens RasTafari balance in esoteric and exoteric.

So I do hope that ones will do the readings and truly embrace the newness of life, which means having Kristos Consciousness and true oneness with JAH through TRUTH WISEMIND >WORD SOUND POWER.Don't just sit and judge what I am saying, but seek and verify for yourself as I have.

I have created a page called Esoteric Knowledge which covers important readings relevant to my posts on Astrotheology in RasTafari. I figured ones need the extra push, so important parts have been selected, but space is still limited.

In addition to that page which cannot hold everything I recommend: The Bullinger book Witness of the Stars and also The Light of Egypt by Thomas Burgoyne which explains how the zodiac influences earth and humans.(The coded astro-theology for Leo and Virgo as they relate to defining David in his earthly and cosmic character can only be known by learning about the zodiac first as stories of the zodiac are what make up Messianic verses. I shall mention those in reasoning to fprward.)

And finally I recommend searing in google for references from the Ible that carry the more obvious Astro-theological nature depicting the Sun.

And I also add some lectures you can listen to at your convenience, about the creation of Christianity and Islam, I also recommend the Chick Publications comic book series on Alberto an ex Catholic Jesuit revealing the dirty history of the Church.

RasTafari Alpha and Imega Love,

Sorry it was sooooooooooo longwinded, it took me six weeks and now three different drafts just to make this one. 

Honestly, I’m just trying to share what I know is truth about the greatness of RasTafari, and it is clear that some old things have to go and make room for the new more edifying truths.

Give thanks for the special EarthDay of His Imperial Majesty, give thanks for July 23rd and the Lion of Judah, for the rising of Mother Isis, Sirius bringing the showers of rain to the Nile, for the Summer Sun Heru-Ra-Amen in its shining glory, giving beauty and joy to the Earth!
